“Day private tour around Kyoto with Toshiyo”
We had a fanulous day- we were both a little tired and unwell but Toshiyo took us to the Bamboo Forest, some amazing Shrines, The Golden temple & Nijo Jo Caste- we had an absolutely delicious lunch in a little noodle cafe. Toshiyo went to the Pharmacy with us to help us find some much needed decongestives. Thankyou Yoshiyo we had the very best day️️ :)

Thank you very much for having me as your guide and writing me the kind review. Since I heard you were not in good condition, I was afraid of our walking around the sites. But we could make it thanks to your cooperation. Thank you! Toshiyo
“A perfect half day in Kyoto”
We had a great time with Toshiyo, learnt a lot. We could have changed the route as she prepared some alternatives. Toshiyo is a very nice, helpful person and communication before and during the trip was perfect.

Half day special customized tour in Kyoto
This is a half-day tour for the people who would like to visit Kyoto in a limited time. Please pick one or two sightseeing places from the following list and I will take you there at a reasonable price.
One day tour From Gion to the Nishiki Market
Kyoto is an ancient city, which used to like be the capital of Japan for 1000 years. There are about 1600 temples and 400 shrines and beautiful gardens. It also has a lot of traditional crafts,such as kimono, fans, Japanese artistic sweets. There are a lot of things to do and experience. First of all I will take you to Gion area.I will take you to Yasaka Shrine and Kenninji Temple. Then let's move to the Nishiki market. and have sushi lunch in the market. Gion is the area of entertainment, where there are many bars and taverns. Some important business and political talks have been conducted. You may run across Maiko and Geiko, Japanese entertainers in kimono. If you want to wear Japanese costume in Gion, I can arrange with extra charge. NIshiki market is the kitchen of the Kyoro, where local people buy their everyday food. Fish stores, vegetable stores, pickles stores and so on. A friend of mine owns a Yuba shop in the market. Yuba is vegan, dairy-free ,gluten free,preserve-free, additive-free and protein rich. You can see the yuba making process.
Katsura Imperial Villa and Fushimi Inari
Katsura Imperial Villa is too beautiful to express! In the early Edo period, Prince Toshihito, who excelled in both literature and the martial art from childhood, built the Villa. That is both tasteful and simple. We need to apply for the Imperial Household Agency to get in. I will apply for you by postcard. It takes an hour to see the villa by the special guide of the villa. The fee is free.

Must-See Kyoto in One Day
This tour is the most effective way to discover Kyoto by yourselfes for only one day. Kyoto is an ancient capital of Japan , and the center of her civilization for over a thousand years. There are too many Shinto- shrines and Buddhsist temples to visit. So , in this tour I carefully sellected sightseeing spots among all of them. I,m sure you are satisfied with this once in a life time experience.
Bamboo grove and Arashiyama area, three World Heritages.
Arashiyama is the hottest tourist destination. It is incredibly beautiful in spring and fall because of its cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. In the fall, the leaves turn brown or red! In the outstanding Tenryuji, you will see a beautiful garden with beautiful mountains in the background. There are many other beautiful places with touching stories in this area. On the way back to downtown, we can visit two world heritage sites, Kinkakuji and Ryoanji. What a wonderful route!
